We had chestnut cream cotechino, leek risotto, pumpkin flan, and, of course, goose leg: delicious. The wine was great, perfect for the food we had, and the advice we had on that matching was spot-on. Kind, warm and informal service, adequate bill (meaning: it was not cheap but also I felt it totally justified).

The place is nice, the staff is warm, the menu a bit short but typical. Local special is goose meat in many ways: fois gras, pasta sauce or roasted. We had 2 starters: castelmagno cheese flan with artichokes (very good) and a mixed plate of fois gras (could have been better). Then risotto with beans, red wine and salami for 2: that was very good!!! 2 desserts: cafè gourmand and creme caramel, nothing to be amazed for. Add 2 glasses of good red wine for a reasonable total of 74 euros. I'd come back again, would give 3.5 so I opted for a 3 and not a 4
